The Sister Switch by Charlotte ButterfieldSynopsis: “Two sisters. One Bet. And a lifetime of secrets uncovered…
Morning TV’s favourite twin sisters, Alice and Edie, may share the screen, but that’s where their similarities end. Their viewpoints are far from identical, and whilst their on-air clashes keep viewers hooked, off-camera, their relationship is far from picture-perfect. After a heated argument on live television threatens their jobs, the fiery duo make a bet: neither could last a week in the other’s shoes. Determined to prove each other wrong, they secretly swap lives — without telling a soul. What starts as a battle of wills quickly spirals into chaos, as each sister discovers that the other’s life is far more complicated than it seems. Between dodging awkward work situations, marital issues, and meddling in each other’s families, Alice and Edie’s rivalry turns from a competitive bet into an opportunity to help change each other’s lives for the better. But will their relationship survive?”

My Review

This was brilliant, I loved every minute of it! I saw Linda’s fab review last year, and snapped it recently when it 99p.

It’s told from Edie’s and Alice’s points of view in the build up, during and after the switch. 

I identified more with Edie, but could see Alice’s side as well. There was great character development, as each sister started to understand how the other lived. It was lovely how they tried to help each other out without the other one knowing.

There were some brilliant laugh out loud moments, especially at the beginning of the switch, which still makes me smile thinking about them.

Charlotte Butterfield is a new-to-me author, and I’ll definitely be looking out for her books.

Highly recommended if you enjoy contemporary feel good fiction about sisters.
